Chapter 356 - 356 229

Chapter 356: Chapter 229 Chapter 356: Chapter 229 “Of course! How could Big Brother miss out on the big event that I’m planning!”

“Now I’m even more curious!” Shen Jingxiu chuckled, but he didn’t press further, believing that when the day came, Wenyan would surely tell him on her own, “So I’ll just wait for your good news.”

Wenyan nodded, just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.

“Mom’s calling me!”

“They’re really not very well-informed. Go ahead and take it.”

“…um…” Wenyan hesitated.

Sensing her reluctance, Shen Jingxiu couldn’t help but turn his head to look at her.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you answering the phone? That’s not like you.”

Wenyan flashed a smile at Shen Jingxiu, “Feeling a bit guilty. It’s not a minor matter, after all, right?”

“What do you think! This is a big deal for our family.”

“Right, it’s such a big deal, and I went ahead and recognized relatives without discussing it with Mom and Dad; won’t they think I’m ungrateful? But this is what I was thinking, Yulong’s situation is also a big deal, and Mom and Dad have been busy trying to gain Yulong’s trust; I don’t want to worry them. Plus, I mentioned to Mom before I joined the group, saying there was no signal on my side, so there was virtually no chance of contacting her.”

“…” Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan, smiling helplessly as he shook his head, “Silly girl! How could Mom and Dad blame you? Especially Mom, she would only blame herself for not knowing about your situation earlier, for not being able to help you in person.”

He sighed softly, and simply pulled over to the side of the road.

Looking at Wenyan, he said earnestly, “Tell me, what is an ungrateful wretch? An ungrateful wretch refers to those who are ungrateful, burn bridges after crossing, and return kindness with enmity. Are you one of them?”

Wenyan shook her head, “I’m not.”

After saying that, she suddenly couldn’t help but laugh.

?? Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?”

“Hmm… I was just thinking, is this how you are when you have meetings with your subordinates? Very serious and stern.”

Shen Jingxiu actually took a moment to reflect, “Not sure. How about you come with me to a meeting next time?”

“Me? How would I go? What would my role be? I’m not an employee of the company.”

“If you really decide to go, that’s not a big deal. But for now, answer the phone first, or else Mom will be even more worried.”

“Oh right! I almost forgot.”

Wenyan quickly answered the call.

“Hello, Mom, it’s been a long time since I’ve talked to you. How are you and Dad? Has Yulong been won over by you? Will I soon have another sister?”

Wenyan’s voice sounded cheerful.

But the more she sounded like this, the more her heart ached for Su Yang.

As soon as Su Yang heard her voice, she choked up.

“You child, why didn’t you tell Mom and Dad when such a big thing happened. I always thought you were working, always thought you were safe. But it turns out that you and Jingchuan have been kidnapped, and now someone’s impersonating your biological father and slandering you. Yanyan, you’ve suffered so much, why didn’t you tell Mom?”

In fact, encountering such an ordeal was quite distressing, but afterwards, Wenyan only thought about solving the problems and didn’t have time to dwell on them.

Now, suddenly being called out by Su Yang’s tearful voice, she suddenly felt the grievance welling up.

“I, I just didn’t want to alarm you all, you had finally found your biological daughter, you’ve longed for her for so many years, and I wanted you to be reunited soon. Even though so many people in the family call you ‘Mom,’ you would definitely be very happy if she could call you that.”

As she spoke, Wenyan’s tears couldn’t help but fall, completely beyond her control.

Su Yang was even more emotional than Wenyan and couldn’t help but cry too.

“You silly child, who taught you to be so hard on yourself, a mother’s daughter doesn’t need to do that, Mom, Dad, and the whole family will support you. Your Dad and I are home now, where are you? Hurry back, Mom misses you, I can’t wait to see my precious daughter.”

“…whimper…” Wenyan didn’t know what to say, she could only turn her tearful eyes to Shen Jingxiu, crying so hard she couldn’t speak.

I just suddenly felt so wronged.

At the sight of her tears, Shen Jingxiu’s heart suddenly ached.

With one hand, he wiped away Wenyan’s tears, and with the other, he took her phone.

“Mom, it’s me. I’m with Yanyan, and I’ll bring her home right away.”

After putting down the phone, Shen Jingxiu gently wiped off the tears from the other side of Wenyan’s face.

“Don’t cry anymore. If your eyes swell up, you won’t look pretty. You didn’t cry when the fourth and I came to find you, but you couldn’t hold back when you heard mom’s voice? The fourth said you didn’t cry when you were kidnapped.”

“Of course, I couldn’t,” Wenyan snorted, “Shen Jingchuan would laugh at me.”

“If he dares, I’ll beat him up.”

Wenyan laughed, “But can you really beat fourth brother? He has eight-pack abs, you know.”

“How do you know I don’t have them?”

“You’re always at work, working overtime, while he’s jumping around like a monkey every day.”

Shen Jingxiu laughed lightly, “Does he know that in your eyes he’s a monkey jumping all around?”

“No no no, I was just making a comparison, it doesn’t mean that’s how I picture him in my heart.”

“I know,” Shen Jingxiu nodded, “I was just joking. But, Shen Jingxiu wouldn’t laugh at you, and you can cry in front of Shen Jingxiu even if you can’t in front of Shen Jingchuan.”

Wiping her eyes, Wenyan shook her head, “I’m not crying anymore. My crying act is so good, I should be paid to cry.”

“I know, but Shen Jingchuan has no money, but I do.”

“Hahaha,” Wenyan laughed loudly, “It seems he’s indeed famously poor.”

Seeing Wenyan’s smile again, Shen Jingxiu’s expression also eased.

“Are you smiling now? If you are, then let’s go home. Here’s your phone.”

“Hmm, ah! My phone’s almost out of battery.”

“Give it to me, I’ll charge it for you.”

“But I still want to play a little game.”

“Play on my phone. I still have 80% battery, and you know the password. Don’t say thank you.”

“But I still have to say it, thank you, big brother.”

“No need to thank me.” It’s good that she smiled.

Shen Jingxiu started the car again.

The traffic lights were all green on the way, and they soon arrived back at the Shen Family villa.

As soon as they heard the car, Su Yang and Shen Yuan walked out from the villa.

Upon seeing Wenyan get out of the car, Su Yang immediately hugged her.

“It’s all mom’s fault for not checking the domestic news sooner. If I had, I could have been by your side earlier, and you wouldn’t have had to suffer all this. But rest assured, now that we’re back, the Shen Family won’t let the Fu Family get away with it.”

“Mom!” Wenyan hugged Su Yang tightly, “My brothers are already taking care of it for me, and besides, I’m an adult now. You really don’t have to worry.”

“A child is always a child to a mother. You will always be a child in front of me.”

“Yeah!” Wenyan nodded, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

Beyond Su Yang’s shoulder, she saw another familiar face coming towards her.

“Yulong?! Mom, did Yulong come back with you guys, too?”
